What's the reason behind the Chucky nerfs?
I love to see him as survivor but I haven't seen Chucky since his big nerfs. I know a friend who is P100 with the good guy and he never returned after the nerfs. What were the reasons for nerfing him so badly?

Slugging in chaos shuffle.
I keep getting games where the killer keeps trolling, and slugs all 4 survivors down, and we are left there to bleed out. I keep getting a dc penality cause I keep running into these games only in chaos shuffle where the killer likes to troll. It's making me not enjoy DBD when I am being punished for leaving a match where…

BHVR, please be careful on the incoming anti slug mechanic
Just had a skull merchant match which I unfortunately had to slug a survivor after he repeatedly abused boil over in the upper part of the main building in crotus. So I eventually had to slug him which ironically he DC’d a few minutes after. I’m all for reducing slugging but I also don’t want killers punished for slugging…

Solo Q survivors, are you having fun?
Genuine question. I'm not.

Blight Should Be 110%
I usually don’t agree with Ayrun on things because he seems far tool survivor sided but I think he is right on this one. I mean if Blight is 115% then why on earth is Huntress, Slinger and Hag 110% If he was 110% he’d still be A Tier and he’d still be far better than the other 110 killers.

"Go next" prevention cant get here soon enough...
Haven't really been playing much lately with the exception some 2v8 matches over the weekend, but saw a Pig video yesterday and figured I kinda wanna play her since I usually dont. Figured I'd try getting some dash value at loops... This morning, I log on and hop on Pig... I've played 2 games so far and BOTH have ppl…

Still no news about trickster revert: update
we were shown a preview design for the trickster, basically reverting the rework that a lot of trickster mains hated https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/s/fQWm6o6v44 It's been 5 months since then with no news whatsoever Like has it been scrapped? Has it been postponed for something else? I feel like there should be…

Should DBD Revert the April 2020 Changes to Window Loops and Survivor Safety
In April 2020, Dead by Daylight got one of the most biggest balance updates before The Realm Beyond update to the main realms in the game at the time. Patch notes for the update: https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_Notes_3.7.X#Patch_3.7.0 This update changed how windows generated and worked during loops. For…

A Technical Question about Singularity/Hux
In YoBro's "The Advanced Guide for Singularity" he brings up the fact that if a slipstreamed survivor rescued someone from the hook, they person that got unhooked would immediately have slipstream spread to them no matter what. However, even after testing this in custom matches, no matter what I did the person that was…

Why haven't we got a spider in this game yet?
And I mean no charms or other stuff I mean a literal killer that resembles or is a spider. It's such an easy choice for a horrific killer. I hope to live long enough to witness it.

Headphone recommendations.
I bought a new set of headphones a few months back, but compared to my old ones, I really struggle to hear injured survivors, I watch YouTube videos of killers chasing injuries survivors and they are so loud, you can pinpoint their exact location by sound, but with my new headphones I can no longer do this, does anyone…

What one thing do you miss from each side?
For example, I miss old Dead hard despite it being busted. Yes, it was hella busted. But also fun. I'd say something akin to a regression perk or something as killer, but I play Trapper, and none of my perks have been touched, so lucky me! What about you? Hoping to perhaps have fun discussions about 'If you had X back as…

I notice a strange similarity with these killers
Knight, Nemesis, Twins and Houndmaster. Are you noticing it? Yeah, their powers are riddled with bugs. When's the fix?

What do you like and dislike about The Ghoul?
I really like his music but I dislike how dependent he is on certain maps and RNG tiles, and his slow vault when not enraged (prob my skill issue)
-
Whats your opinion on breakable walls?
Does anyone else feel like they just haven't been utilized correctly for the longest time? They're genuinely really cool but have hardly been implemented into maps lately, and when they are, they're usually just used as something you HAVE to break in order to make a window weaker which is pretty dull. I think Midwich has a…

Do you guys think we can have mods back (if they aren't exploitable)
i would really love for mods to come back since they breathe so much fresh air into the game. However i am fully aware mods bring much more harm than good and that's just sad to see. I am asking if Bhvr can bring back mods without exploits being a part of it (even tho they most likely wouldn't since it can harm their…

FNAF Waiting Room - Are you Ready for Freddy?
FNAF is my dream license for Dead by Daylight, and it is right around the corner! I am so excited! I desperately hope Blight gets a Foxy skin. I would never take it off. FNAF is one of those things that are near and dear to my heart, like Jurassic Park. I know that Scott Cawthon is protective of his franchise, but I really…

For those that have triggers or phobias in this game, what do you do?
I was curious what people did for situations in games where their triggers/phobias are at? I used to not play until a group invited me for custom matches due to me having a phobia of both clowns and dolls, so the killers clown and chucky freak me out. Been playing public for events and the such now. I usually have to afk…

Survivor Tight Fast Vaults on Controller
Is it possible to get controller fast vaults between windows with a parallel object (i.e a chair), that’s 3 feet away? Any tips on how to do this? No matter what I try, I can’t nail it. Streamers on keyboard make this look effortless while in chase.

Upcoming anniversary masks
Just a quick post about DBD´s anniversary coming up, I really hope our current 6 original survivors get to shine in the spotlight this year. Them being; Claudette, Jake, David, Vittorio, Sable and Taurie. Would also love to see Wraith getting a mask since him and Houndmaster are the only 2 original characters who have not…

What does it mean when killers say "Survivors get too much help"?
They say things like "Survivors have too many 2nd chances", "Survivors get handheld by bhvr" or "They get too much help with basekits and features" Why do they say such things?

Do Graphics Settings affect performance significantly?
I'm on PlayStation 5 and I have been playing on it since August with the console settings set to 2160p for screen resolution. A lot of YouTube content suggests that PC Players should set their graphics to low to get better performance, is this true for consoles too? I changed the PS5 to output 1080p this morning and the…

TRICKSTER REWORK ....
CAN YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE? Trickster is a weak Killer and they still want to Nerf him even more? 4.4 is horrible, a lot of people hate 4.4 killers, Trickster 4.4 (old) was garbage. He just needs mini buffs... don't rework if you DC with Trickster/Skull/Clown (Tier C-D Killers) you are a horrible Survi, they are strong in…

Fix the game, its been out entirely too long for these issues
can someone please explain the point of windows and pallets? I jump through the window (finish the animation) and the killer hits me through it, I jump over a pallet (finish the animation) and the killer hits me over it. It actually makes no sense. Im using the only two things you have in the game to get away from the…

Why aren't these basekit for SoloQ?
Aftercare, Kindred, Better Together or Bond. Why aren't these perks integrated for SoloQ matches? Doesn't BHVR want to close the gap between soloQ and SWF?

How is chaos shuffle treating you so far?

Stop with the modifiers
Three months is all I ask of a break from 2v8, lights out and choas shuffle. That's all just three months of normal gameplay because it is horrendous I've taken breaks the length of around a month because I'm sorry I'm getting sick of modifiers just normal dbd for three months all i get is toxic on either side and i can't…

So...why do most Killers have a blanket 4.6 m/s despite their abilities?
And Bloodlust is something you only really get if you play with the Survivor long enough? No one cares, but why not flip those? Give Killers lower base m/s, in accordance to speed potential from Killer Powers, and have Bloodlust activate sooner. Having to use your Power to catch Survivors becomes tedious. If the Killer has…

10-Year Ban for Farming/Boosting
I'm creating this thread to attract developer attention regarding a recent 10-year ban I received for "Abusing bugs or errors in design to gain a competitive advantage." This ban feels completely unjustified. I submitted an appeal expecting it to be lifted, but my appeal was rejected without clear justification. Context: I…

will MMR be reworked???
We know one of the health updates coming to DBD this year is an MMR update, so do we think this game won’t base your MMR off of kills and escapes anymore??? I really wonder whats gonna happen with that.
-
Separate Leveling system
Honestly I think the best thing that DBD has is when you start on a brand new Character weather it's on Killer or survivor it starts you off fresh. Like ur starting a new game for the first time. That ads to the learning curve this game does will.

What happened to Coldwind?
This realm has been nerfed time and time again to the point where it’s barely playable half the time. The maps have huge dead zones with only corn, all the main buildings have been nerfed (except torment creek), the filler loops have been made INCREDIBLY weak and a 80/20 in the killer’s favor, the landmarks like cow tree…

Houndmaster's current chase music/terror radius is such a downgrade from her old one
I'm not a fan of the broken-up accordion, and the terror radius is much quieter and feels less impactful. I thought it was already reverted to her ptb chase music but I guess they double-backed on it while I took a break from the game? I really don't like it. I'm so annoyed by this change, I get that it makes her chase…

Out of curiosity
I like we have Aestri as a tall female survivor but was it explain why she uses the male survivors animation? Also if and when we get a short male survivor are they gonna be using the female running animation then?

Scott Jund’s Conspiracy Theory
I am an American and I play DBD from the East coast. I typically play Dead by Daylight all morning long until the afternoon on heavy days. Despite this, I have played with and against Otzdarva and Hens simply by playing the game at the same time they happen to. I do not think matchmaking is actually georestricted. It…

Is there any reason for the Devs not to randomize items and add-ons in chaos shuffle?
This is the 3rd (or even 4th?) version of Chaos Shuffle, and there are still no radomized items or add-ons, even though so many players have been asking for them since version 1. As far as I know, the developers have never commented on this or explained why they keep deciding against it. I'd be extremely curious to know…
-
Deathslinger should be 115%
Why is he 110% still? I can maybe understand an argument for Huntress being 110% which I don’t agree with but Slinger? Really? Trickster being 115% and Slinger remains 110% makes zero sense. Slinger is a “ranged” killer that has to M1. The only killers that should be 110% are killers with movement speed abilities. Blight…

Calling all Huntress mains!
What do you think her best maps are? I think Lake Mine, Original Ormond and Wretched shop are some of the best but I wanted to hear other peoples opinions! Somebody said all the Azarov maps are great for her but I don’t know if I agree. Survivors can see your head at every single high wall loop so mind games are impossible…

Would It Be Busted To Give Self-Care Back Its Medkit Efficiency?
Title. I've been thinking about how Self-Care is a really bad perk that heavily requires additional supporting perks to even be considered halfway acceptable, and how I'd fix that myself. It's a tricky perk to balance because raising its actual healing speed too much makes it broken, so instead, what if it gave you medkit…

Do You Think With The Map Offering Change...
So Scratch Mirror Myers is effectively dead. I mean, it was already a meme playstyle but since you cannot send people to indoor maps, youll probably never see a Scratch Mirror Myers after the change. But do you think maybe Vanity Mirror will finally have its time to shine? You get faster movement speed and a full lunge,…

Is no mither usage going up??
seeing a lot of no mither players recently, and I know some players hate that perk. There’s no challenge right now with it is there???

Chaos Shuffle
First of all, I love this gamemode (2v8 is hot garbage. Fight me!). It is DbD's "Great Equalizer" when everyone are having random perks. But somehow I feel that in this iteration, the mode purposfully is putting garbage perks that have no synergy with each other. Or I have worst luck. Deadline, Self Care, No Mither, Red…

Do we want additional objectives in dead by daylight?
why do players keep saying they want other objectives in dead by daylight instead of generators, but killers that release with side objectives (sadako, singularity, pinhead, xeno) are so hated because of their side objectives 🤨?

Dead By Daylight Mobile features that are needed in the base game of Dead by Daylight.
With Dead by Daylight Mobile ceasing all operations after March 20th, I want to list some things that are present in the mobile version, but not in the base game. Perks being visible to survivors when loading into a match. This a must for improving communication and awareness of survivors builds. And has been requested for…
